this is an equivalent of the regular kj read interface which also takes
a min/max pair. we do not need this very often though, so we'll keep it
as a separate method for now. if we do find we use it more than read we
can still rename read to readSingle and readRange to read. we will see.

the old protocols are largely untested, mostly unused, and have design
problems that make the RPC transition a lot harder, if not impossible.
in theory we could ship a transparent protocol-converting proxy that'd
isolate the daemon itself from old protocol versions, but that's a lot
of code to maintain for presumably little gain or even no gain at all.
